If you’re keen on betting across various leagues and markets, our Live Bets page showcases active accumulator bets and real-time tips.

Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It would probably be a little strong to say that we expect Darren Moore and Graham Alexander to park the bus here, but we certainly don't expect to see a deluge of goals as Port Vale and Bradford go head-to-head. The statistics belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.83 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we're recommending.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 43% chance of Bradford coming away with a win.
